Lamplighter Roasting Company opened in Richmond, Virginia in 2009, and here, four years later, you’d have a hard time declaring a more emblematic small business for this gracious old Commonwealth town. The ownership has deep roots in this city of just 200,000. They do all their roasting right there in Richmond, and the local bearderatti – the “hipsters,” young creative types… you know the sort, dammit – those movers and shakers and generational influencers here in Virginia’s third largest city all gather comfortably in Lamplighter’s cafes.
